Vetplant

Hey hey, tomorrow morning when we wake up it will be the final moments of the Womens Road Race. Then, All Black vs Aussies, followed by Frans Steyn in at Flyhalf for the Boks, before another slapie untill the final moments of the Men RR. What a packed sporting Weekend!

Quote from SRAM: https://support.sram.com/hc/en-us/articles/6086381999387-What-about-radio-interference-Could-a-rival-team-hijack-my-signal-and-create-a-mechanical-for-me-Can-my-signal-be-jammed- SRAM RED eTap uses a proprietary wireless communication protocol that SRAM created called Airea. It was created and tested by computer scientists, cryptographers and even hackers to be extremely reliable and secure. It uses several layers of state-of-the-art encryption and obfuscation as well as very powerful spread-spectrum radios to eliminate the possibility of hacking the system and make interference or malicious jamming extremely difficult.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. They must have read my post, seen the logic in it, and then decided to do a whole bloody article around my findings without giving me any credit, . But like they say, why the hell would the chain do that? Very odd.

Something else happened, but not too sure exactly what it was. Tyre was still intact when she lost control. I've watched it in slowmo multiple times and it seems the chain malfunctions, which throws her weight forward(bad idea), which then makes her lose control. Check the video in the Twitter post, drag the video to see the situation frame-by-frame:

Apologies, I was thinking the Wille Honde style mount on the wall was under consideration. Scratch my comment then. The strength of the attachment to the ceiling, and the ceiling itself, will be an interesting consideration then.

When items approach 20kg, I think it is the user that will become the limiting factor. Lifting 20 kg up to where you would want to place the bike is harder than people realise. Well, luckily in the case of the tandem, there "should" be another rider there to help you. In theory at least...

Never heard of her...

So, hands up, who is willing to bet against Top Ganna to break the Hour Record?

He made some bad transactions on the Classifieds:

Wow, what a blast from the past! Well, according to his Insta it seems het got some consonants added to his achievements... However, I can type Justice League Member on my Insta Bio, but it doesn't mean I've met Batman. You have to credit the guy though, he has 564 followers, after just one post on his new account. That is impressive!

He has had a stellar season. That solo break on Stage 4 of the TDF was my absolute favorite, winning in Yellow! If WvA was to lose, I'd be happy if it turns out that this guy takes it. He has had an absolutely marvelous 2022, beating MvdP in a sprint at the Giro, finishing 2nd to MvdP yesterday: Next week Sunday morning is lining up to be brilliant fun. Better get to bed early on the Saturday...

(I thought there was an existing thread for this, but couldn't find it.) In terms of when the events take place, this serves as a useful summary. We are equivalent to CEST currently. Credit to the original Author:https://twitter.com/SadhbhOS/status/1570007611948294145

Carte Blanche needs 10 separate complaints before they pursue a case(I've only heard this, don't know if it is a hard rule) It seems feasible to pull 10 victims together to get this guy some publicity.

"Hi. I'm setting up some other scams to pay you back, but only if you pressure me enough with a Fraud Case at the Police and Banks, throw SARS into the mix and I might even pay you back before the weekend."

Louis left with only two teammates... it will be legendary if he is able to hang on to a top 10 in GC!

I'm a relatively big Max fan, and I have to admit, Max's current car is a monster. Newey really has the rest of the paddock scratching their heads, especially when the Red Bulls came back even faster after the new Technical Directive regarding floor heights etc.

Some people definitely thinking that Evenpoel was Very Lucky to get his puncture when he did(just inside 3k to go). There was still confusion on the Lanterne Rouge Podcast as to whether the stage qualified for the 3km rule or not.

New Route - Once again starting at the Voortrekker Monument. Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that 75% of the route is Uphill, and the remaining 80% is made up of Downhill/Flat... 🧐 https://tshwaneclassic.co.za/

Silver linings hey...

Aaag F%k!

Hi. My name is Vetplant. I have a problem... (Difficult to create a screenshot with ALL the hits on the search for "Bike"..., but you get the idea)

[Open EXCEL] [Copy alphabetic startlist for TDF 2022 from www.procyclingstats.com] [Paste in Column A] [Copy alphabetic startlist for Vuelta 2022 from www.procyclingstats.com] [Paste in Column B] [Define VLOOKUP in Column C, "VLOOKUP(B2,A:A,1,0)"] [Sort for all the hits, spot checks to make sure the results make sense] [Go back to Bikehub and reply:] Funny you should ask. Yes there are some riders that are doing the Vuelta after doing the TDF this year. They are: DEGENKOLB John DURBRIDGE Luke FROOME Chris JUNGELS Bob KIRSCH Alex KUSS Sepp LUTSENKO Alexey MAS Enric MCNULTY Brandon MEINTJES Louis MÜHLBERGER Gregor O'CONNOR Ben OLIVEIRA Nelson OWSIAN Łukasz PEDERSEN Mads PINOT Thibaut ROGLIČ Primož SÁNCHEZ Luis León SOLER Marc URÁN Rigoberto VAN BAARLE Dylan VAN POPPEL Danny VERONA Carlos WOODS Michael WRIGHT Fred Disclaimer: This is only the list of the ones that were on the startlists for both events. I'm not going to go through the list to see who stands to complete both this year. I know Roglic didn't finish TDF, so there are bound to be more like him.
